The Canadiens travel to New York to face the Rangers at Madison Square Gardens. The Habs are looking to spoil the party in New York and force a game 7 back in Montreal down 3-2 in the series. Montreal will have LW David Wass move onto the 2nd line to replace the injured LW Randolph Lott.


Montreal open up the scoring early as RD Rinat Sadriyev gets his 2nd of the playoffs on a snap shot from just out side the right face off circle at 1:22 for a 1-0 lead. RW Robert Cull and LW Eric Brenner get assists. The Rangers tie it up 1-1 as LW Francois Roy beats G Bill Wolfenbarger from a sharp angle for his 6th of the playoffs at 16:32. The first period ends with a 1-1 score and the Rangers leading the shots at 7-6.


Montreal is getting out played badly in the second period but it is Montreal that makes it 2-1 at 18:28 of the period. LW Joey Mariani's snap shot beats the Ranger goalie with an assist to C Dean Casey for his 5th of the playoffs. The Rangers get that one back before the period ends, RW Lukas Kocian's shot from the slot at 19:27 makes it 2-2. It was Kocian's 5th of the playoffs. The second period ends in a 2-2 tie and the shots heavily in favour of the Rangers, 19-9.


The Rangers grab and early lead in the third, LW Francois Roy gets his 2nd of the night and 7th of the playoffs from a sharp angle at 3:37 and its 3-2 Rangers. The Rangers go up 4-2 at 11:38 when RW Spencer Hembling knocks in a rebound for his 5th of the playoffs. The Rangers appear to put the final nail in the Canadiens coffin, at 19:36 RW Lukas Kocian puts one in the empty Habs cage for his 6th of the playoffs. The game is over, the New York Rangers out shoot the Habs 33-15 and win the Stanley Cup.


New York 5 Montreal 2 The Rangers win the series 4-2.


New York RW Lukas Kocian scores twice and adds a helper and is selected the 1st star. The 20 year old has 6 goals and 13 points with 14 PIMs and a +11 rating in 17 playoff games. In his second NHL season, Kocian had a career high 28 goals in 72 games for the Rangers this year.


The NEW YORK RANGERS are the 2003-04 Stanley Cup Winners.
